Jørn Utzon

Born in Copenhagen in 1918, Jørn Utzon is one of Denmark's best-known architects of the 20th century. Most noted for creating the Sydney Opera House in the 1960s, he has produced many masterpieces throughout his career. These include the Bagsværd Church and the Can Lis house in Mallorca, a luminous oasis by the sea, quite different from his cold and foggy Danish homeland. In the field of lighting, he created the Utzon JU1 lamp for &Tradition, inspired by his father's naval engineering drawings.

Born and raised in a family of architects, Jørn Utzon studied architecture in Copenhagen, where he met masters Stein Ehler Rasmussen and Kai Fisker. Moving between Denmark, Sweden and Finland, he worked with Alvar Aalto in Helsinki, followed by three years with Gunnar Asplund in Stockholm. After a trip to the United States he met Frank Lloyd Wright, who deeply influenced his work. He opened his studio in Copenhagen, where he remained until the day of his passing, on November 29, 2008.
